Toulo stayed directly involved with the sport, in sponsorship and PR until the 1980's and only retired in 2002 as the head of the Ancien Pilotes. He even drove a lap, aged 84, in 1998 to celebrate Silverstone's 50th birthday. His death meant there were no more starters of the very 1st GP in 1950. Biography last updated 24 Jan 2010 |
